I'm Married!!!

Can you believe that the last time I posted was about three weeks before my wedding? I'm really pathetic. :) Actually, it got so busy with wedding details that I just didn't feel like blogging. Oops!

Friday, March 2, 2007, Walter and I were married at Naperville Presbyterian Church in Naperville, IL. It was an amazing ceremony -- absolutely perfect! Better than I imagined! We had a worship band play some songs and they were fantastic! I can't wait to get the wedding ceremony DVD so I can watch it all over again. All of my vendors were fantastic and everything went without a hitch.

We went to Kauai for our honeymoon and returned this past Monday. We had so much fun and it was gorgeous!! We took almost 1000 pictures!

It is nice to be home and be married in our normal lives. I love going to bed next to him and waking up next to him in the morning. I love that I don't have to say goodbye at night. I love that I can easily share my heart with my best friend at different times. Walter is an amazing man and I am so thankful and blessed to be married to him. :)

Thanks so much for all of your love, support, and encouragement in our relationship. You are all blessings to us. Thanks to everyone who participated in the wedding ceremony and celebrated with us. We are so thankful to you.

God is so good and we are so blessed...

Thanks again for extending the honor to allow me to play in your wedding. I had a blast, and it was great to see two of my friends married.

We Have a Date!

The wedding date is set: Friday, March 2. I've already booked our church, our pastor, and the reception hall. Whew. I've been busy. Luckily, I already knew where I wanted the reception to be held and since I'm doing a Friday evening, it was easier to book the reception hall. My mom, Kara (my sister and matron-of-honor), and I are looking at dresses this Saturday. How fun! I already found one that I REALLY like online at David's Bridal. So, we are heading there first on Saturday. Jess bought me a wedding planning book -- wow! I had no idea that there were so many things to do! Plus, most people start almost a year in advance and I'm doing it in six months. Oh well. The work is well worth the short wait. So, how am I doing with posting so far? Look, Amanda, two blogs in one week! You must be proud of me. Still no pictures as Walter has been out of town and I don't have a camera. Hopefully, I will have some for you soon.

Lessons I've Learned in Marriage

Yesterday my husband and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary! I'm so thankful for my wonderful husband and God's faithfulness throughout our marriage. To find someone to love and loves you back is truly an amazing thing -- especially when he chooses to love you even at your worst. As in all marriages, there are highs and lows. I wouldn't change a single second of it for I have grown as a person and in my faith through our relationship. However, I wanted to share with you two lessons that I have learned in my marriage: 1. He shouldn't be my everything . Walter is my best friend, my confidant, and I love just being in the same room as him. It's romantic to say that "he's my everything" (which in many ways he is), however, I don't expect him to be my everything. It's an unfair pressure to put on him. My husband needs to be able to hang with his friends and talk with them without constantly worrying about me. And I need to have people that I...

Honestly...

I've been thinking a lot about honesty lately, specifically in relationships. For the most part, I consider myself an honest person. When I worked in retail, my customers appreciated that I would give them honest feedback and let them know if something worked for them, instead of just trying to make a sale. I joke around that if you give me a just a little alcohol, you will be sure to know my opinions about any and everything. ;) However, when it comes to people who are close to me, I have a harder time being honest. I can be honest when it doesn't matter -- even when it is with people I consider my friends. I think because there isn't as much at stake -- if they judge me, get mad, or walk away, it doesn't really matter. I know that I was honest and I can move on in my life.  However, with those closest to me, I'm careful to keep things close to me and compartmentalize instead to sharing how I honestly feel. There's way more at stake. Yes, I know that the people...
